On the Southeastern Conference’s weekly teleconference, Ed Orgeron confirmed junior defensive end Davon Godchaux will return to LSU’s team
on Wednesday.
The East Baton Rouge district attorney declined to file charges against Godchaux on Tuesday after the 6-foot-4, 299-pound lineman was arrested around 3:30 a.m. Monday for misdemeanor domestic abuse/child endangerment and false imprisonment charges.
Godchaux has started in all four games this season. He has added two sacks and 20 total tackles for LSU thus far in 2016.
Leonard Fournette injury update
Orgeron revealed junior tailback Leonard Fournette, who has been nursing a high ankle sprain, is a “game-time decision” for Saturday’s 6:30 p.m. kickoff against Missouri at Tiger Stadium.
Fournette has not participated in LSU’s two practices this week. His status for Wednesday’s practice is unclear.
Fournette, amid his ankle sprain recovery, went down on the second-to-last drive against Auburn. He returned to the game for LSU’s final drive.
After the game, former LSU coach Les Miles said Fournette “may have gotten nicked” in the game. Miles said he hoped Fournette’s injury against Auburn is “nothing serious.”
“He’ll try to play,” Orgeron said.
Senior center Ethan Pocic, starting right tackle Toby Weathersby and freshman cornerback Saivion Smith were also inactive during LSU’s two practices on Monday and Tuesday.
